Where the Spirit of Community lives!
Westchester First Fridays Organizers
Its was on December 1st when Patrica Lyon of Westchester Watch Works a merchant for 21+ years and a community leader had an idea of breathing fresh air into a lackluster showing she had experienced at the usual First Fridays events in Westchester. Pat contacted Sheldon Katz of No Reservation Catering, a gourmet food truck owner and friend, who then contacted myself, Big Tony Ragu to help organize and promote a First Friday's event in 3 days.

The Westchester First Fridays event was born on December 3rd and began in the 87th St. Merchants Group area of 87th West Street and Truxton became the home for a family inspired event that included 12 gourmet food trucks being embraced by 1500 plus patrons that strolled the quaint grounds that day. There was plenty of parking, friendly shop owners, and kids of all ages just enjoying the gourmet food truck vibe.
The new family friendly standard will be added to future events conceived by Westchester First Fridays Organizers. Stay tuned for new great events coming with more food trucks along with new locations, which will share the same vibe we brought to Westchester. Lets face it, California fans deserve it. Enjoy the video interviews of the Westchester First Fridays event and pics taken that day. Thanks to all our supporters, food trucks that attended, and Westchester Merchants.
